Always keep Jade idol. It's insane on turn 1. It summons a 1/1 for 1 mana and it gives +1/+1 to all the next Jade Golems you will summon. Mulligan everything else for Innervate, Wild Growth and Jade Blossom. Keep Big Stuff if you have Innervate. But don't keep situational spells like Earthen Scales and Feral Rage.
Also, most of the time you should consider playing the 2nd Jade Idol for summoning jade Golem. Even without shuffling you can get 10/10 Golem. You should only shuffle if you have Auctioneer + some cheap spells or you have a Nourish in hand to draw 3 cards immediately after shuffling. and never shuffle against aggressive decks. You need to dig deep into your deck for Taunts and Armor.
Against aggro I usually keep it. In control matchups I usually mulligan it and look for ramp or nourish. In the mirror match I actually don't know but it's important to establish a board faster than your opponent. Getting ramp helps with that as well. It doesn't hurt to keep it though. Whether I keep it or not depends on my hand as well. If I'm going first and my hand is Earthen Scales, Earthen Scales, Jade Idol, then I'll mulligan everything.
After Quest Rouge nerfed, now may the Jade Druid Deck take the job to stop Control Deck be too greedy. I have a stuip question about mulligan.
Shall I mulligan Jade Idol or go forInnervate, Wild Growth and Jade Blossom?
If i already have ramp card in hand, keep Idol or replace it anyway?
Thanks a lot!
